I would like to be able to select several lines using vim
when editing an HTML file, then enter some hotkey and get these lines wrapped in a django comment block.
For example, I have:
one line
another line
I want to get:
{% comment %}
one line
another line
{% endcomment %}

I have the following mapping set up to quickly disable a block of C++ code using
#if 0...#endif
What this does is set up a mapping that only works while Visual mode is enabled (
vmap
), which disables visual mode (V
), goes to the beginning of the last visual selection ('<
), enters a new line above it (O
), enters the "#if 0" text then quits edit mode (<Esc>
), then goes to the end of the last visual selection ('>
), adds a line below (o
) and enters the "#endif" text.You could do something similar by replacing the start and end text, e.g.
Note that this requires the use of line-by-line visual mode, entered with a capital
V
, rather than character-by-character visual mode that uses a lowercasev
.
